Hear my crying, O God  *

give ear unto my prayer.

From the ends of the earth will I call upon thee *

when my heart is in heaviness.

O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I *

for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me against the enemy.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever *

and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings.

For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires *

and hast given an heritage unto those that fear thy Name.

Thou shalt grant the King a long life *

that his years may endure throughout all generations.

He shall dwell before God for ever *

O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

So will I always sing praise unto thy Name *

that I may daily perform my vows.

My soul truly waiteth still upon God  *

for of him cometh my salvation.

He verily is my strength and my salvation *

he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.

How long will ye imagine mischief against every man *

ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt *

their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.

Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God *

for my hope is in him.

He truly is my strength and my salvation *

he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.

In God is my health, and my glory *

the rock of my might, and in God is my trust.

O put your trust in him alway, ye people *

pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but vanity *

the children of men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.

O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto vanity *

if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same *

that power belongeth unto God;

And that thou, Lord, art merciful *

for thou rewardest every man according to his work.
